Steel tank exposed in sunlight
Steel tank exposed in sunlight
(OP)
Greetings! I wish to thermally simulate, using ANSYS 15 or 16 (both at my disposal), an industrial steel tank exposed to sunlight. The tank is filled with caustic soda and has 1 inlet/1 outlet. Since i'm relatively new, i'd like your opinion regarding the simulation parameters like convection and radiation coefficients, or anything else i should be careful of. I want to predict if the overall temperature exceeds a specific threshold.
Thank you in advance.
